At least on my system, perl installs a suid helper that does this for 
you. You just mark the perl script as suid, and it auto-detects that, 
and uses the helper to run the actual script. The result is you just set 
the perl script suid and that's it.

I already tested it from Apache, and it worked for me (several years ago).
